DISQUS

I'm sorry, but when has there ever been a 5 game suspension for throwing elbows? This is just getting ridiculous. This doesn't "damage" IU's reputation. He played stupid yesterday, and got caught, but this is hardly the first time an IU player has done these things (once again, Dane Fife, etc). Stop overreacting.

Oh please. Dumes was out of line, but come on. Dane Fife was worshiped by our fans, and he constantly threw elbows, played "dirty", and for the love of God, he bit a player. Its the Big Ten. these things happen. Don't act like our players have never been involved in these types of things.

And suggesting that he will get a five game suspension is just asinine.

Hey Ollie..........WHAT???? Iowa just beat Michigan State. Does that mean Lickliter is clearly a better coach than Tom Izzo? No, it doesn't. Its the Big Ten. Games are tough. We won.

Our "ruiting" class is weak? WTF are you talking about?

Uhhhhh...Jacob? First, AJ is still on the team. Second, he is a senior, so his scholarship will be available next year no matter what. Oh, and shut up about Sampson. Thanks in advance.

Who said he won't qualify? The NCAA has plenty of time to review Eli's information. He's already been cleared to practice.

Uhhhhhh....kelin? If you get there at 8, you will be in the balcony. I'm getting there when the doors open (there is usually a line) and will watch the v-ball game.

Tyler, I got mine at Greetings (on Kirkwood) in Bloomington.

We are fine at guard. In 08, we will have have Bassett, Crawford, Ellis, Mackey, and Roth to play 2 spots while Ebanks plays the 3. In 09 we are going after strickland and a few other top guards. You can NEVER have too many bigs.

We still have an excellent shot at Zeller and Jones. KS knows what he is doing. Welcome to IU Tom!

Of course we can beat Illinois. They have been hyped like crazy the last 2 years, and they couldn't beat us either time. And they haven't done that great this year either (Juice Williams still has NO accuracy). I say we beat dUI by 7.

I want to see IU beat Purdue by 40. Does that help? :)

Seriously, how does a senior become ineligible? Hopefully, he gets his academics in order for semester 2.

Well, its true. He will be out 8-9 games.

I love the Wolf Challenge. Always a good time.

Mackey and McCallum are expected to play with the recruits tonight. I think Zeller will play in another game.

Ask EJ if he is prepared to face the great Greg Hill of Purdue. LOL

Can't wait for the game tonight!

I was there too. I graduated from Providence this past year, and we played Winchester before EJ's game. Although we lost, I loved watching EJ play. He is unbelievable! Can't wait for Thursday night.

Seriously, every Big Ten school is better academically than UofL. I'm not saying UofL doesn't have some good programs (the Speed School), but overall, Louisville isn't a good fit. Also, like BC said, IU is a quality school. IU has the #1 music school in the US and several highly ranked programs.

Won't happen. All Big Ten schools are members of the Association of American Universities. Also, US News ranks every Big Ten school in the top 70 nationally (first tier), while UofL is a third-tier school. Good athletics, bad academics.

Great news! The Wolf Challenge is a great event (I live in Sellersburg). Should be a lot of fun. Bill Murray was there last year and he made things interesting to say the least.

I love Kentucky fans. On Catspause, they claim that they are bringing 10,000 fans to Assembly Hall. Obviously, all of our fans are going to be intimated by Bill Clyde and his recruiting prowess, which will lead to every IU fan selling their tix to UK fans. We are screwed. LOL

Exactly, I'm excited for MM and basketball season too, but I'm also excited for football. We need to pack the Rock for revenue, and to show support for the team, coaches, and in honor of Coach Hep. Anyway, GO IU and nice blog.
